SAP PO 75 Distributed Installation on Linux x86 – Part1

PI/PO Developers not only like to do end to end development but always would like to see or want to know how does an end to end installation be like. When I searched for any new installation specific to PI/PO I could not able to find. Hopefully this will help to some personnel who are in search of it.

Scenario:  Install PO 75 in distributed landscape like SCS, Database and application servers on separate hosts and configure Post Installation steps.

In this series of blog posts what we will see is:

Part1:  Create Stack XML file for PO75 Java only System and download the necessary Software.

Part2:  Install SCS.
